Stand and Deliver1988

[Jaime is eating at the Delgado family's restaurant, speaking with them about Ana's decision to drop out of Garfield High]

Jaime Escalante:
She'll just be a fat winch, waste her life away in your restaurant. You have to understand - she's top student.

Mr. Delgado:
I started washing dishes for a nickel an hour. Now I own this place. Did I waste my life?

Jaime Escalante:
I washed dishes, too, when I first came to this country.

Mr. Delgado:
Good! Why don't you put on an apron and give us a hand?

Jaime Escalante:
Ana could go to college, come back, and teach you how to run this place.

Mr. Delgado:
[He tears up the tab for Jaime's dinner] Professor Escalante, I don't want your money. And I don't need your business.

Jaime Escalante:
[He reaches into his wallet, dropping the money on the table anyway] Tip, for Ana. By the way, I notice you put hot chillies in your dip to sell extra beer - don't you?
